I think i’m jealous of my exgf and her exbf who’s kinda my best friend

Me, 20sM
K, 30sF
R, 40sM
Title weird, but idk how else to explain. Hopefully it’ll make sense after you’ve read this.

Recently, both of em followed me to my mum’s house (long story, i was having a mental breakdown). When i went to go get them from my childhood room, they were holding hands but let go when i walked in. I didn’t rlly think about it then, because ya know, going through a breakdown, but now that i’m better it’s all i’ve been thinking about.

I don’t rlly want them to get back together, which makes me feel like a big prick. Everyone else at our work and our friends want them to get back together (oh ya, R is also kinda my boss? It’s not weird tho, dw). It was this big thing when they broke up, like everyone was freaking out about it and sad as fuck, so now they’re all rooting for them except for me.

Me and R have been doing this training thing for a while, and it’s been the best time of my life. Sometimes he even cooks breakfast for me when he’s been awfully hard on me like he’s trying to make up for it. We carpool for work after it happens, and he lets me choose the music even when he hates it. I’m afraid that if he and K get back together it’s all gonna stop, and i rlly don’t want it to.

Can’t tell my friends about this since they’re rooting for them, so that’s why i’m posting here, just to rant. Not looking for advice. Thanks bye

edit: ig people were confused by my title and need more info. Me and my ex broke up a couple of years ago, and then when I came back from something (can’t give details for identity shit) they were already dating. I actually hated her bf for other reasons prior (more identity shit) and was pissed and grossed out when I found out about them. Me and him became friends way later. Just recently is when we all became friends even tho they’re now broken up. It’s all messy, idk what to tell ya

You’re worried about something that hasn’t even happened yet, and it may not anyway! Don’t stress about it too much right now :)

dessertordesert●22d
This is the craziest thing I’ve read today. Your ex girlfriend is dating your enemy, you become best friends with him after they date, and now y’all are friends?? Be so fucking for real right..is this fake?
        bigpricknumba9●22d
        Not fake, my fucking life. Ig it does kinda sound made up, but i promise i ain’t that creative. To add a funny bit, i had both of their posters on me wall growing up
                dessertordesert●21d
                THEIR FUCKING POSTERS??? WHO ARE YOU?? WHO ARE THEY??

PornFlakes●22d
Do you think you may be in love with him? You say you had a poster of him on your wall along with your ex-girlfriend, and now you’re actively rooting for them not to get back together despite everyone around you hoping for it. It may not be just because you don’t want to lose your friend, it maybe because you’re the one who wants to date R.

UPDATE I think i’m jealous of my exgf and her exbf who’s kinda my best friend
Here’s a link to my last post if you haven’t read it
So, things escalated. lol

With the training, R has me on a pretty strict schedule and rules, one of which is no beer. Let me tell you, it’s been fucking brutal, but he asked me out for a drink and I said hell yes because duh? He went on about this speech, like saying how proud he is of me, and ngl it felt pretty good. I was flying fucking high, and then he brought up K. He said he hoped it didn’t get in the way of our friendship, and for a second I was like did he read my post?? But granddad can barely Facetime. He went on about my feelings for her, which I don’t have none, but i didn’t tell him that. She’s just my friend now, and I told him it wouldn’t get in the way.

Then, this fucker says “good, cause me and K have started talking again”. When i tell you i fucking flubbed this whole fucking conversation, i flubbed it. Asked him if it was official (he said no), and he said he doesn’t want me to get hurt and to step aside.

GUYS, I FUCKING SAID NO TO STEPPING ASIDE!!!!! I DON’T EVEN LIKE K.

Things were said, I fucking blacked out idk, but he told me they fucked the month before and i froze. Said something I definitely should not have said. I can’t even say what i said because of identity shit. Just know i definitely should not have said what i said which is prob what led to the next part.

We got into a fucking fistfight. Like a full on brawl, i even ripped his shirt open. He punched me in the face and i got a bloody nose. Bled on my favorite hoodie too :( Then, we had the genius idea to go to K’s house and ask her to PICK!! LIKE PICK BETWEEN US!! I will say it again, I DO NOT LIKE HER!!! WTF AM I DOING??? I’m an idiot. She kicked us out btw, do not fucking blame her.
Anyway, we went out for kebabs after. But, after K kicked us out, i felt relieved that it meant her and R were definitely not going to get back together. Like, i felt like i had won since i was the one eating kebabs with him. So, i think it’s safe to say i’m defininity jealous, but it doesn’t matter anymore!!

edit: Getting a lot of comments to tell me to apologize to K. Don’t worry, already fucking ahead of ya.

Oh babe..I read the last post and thought it was fake, but I do think you’re too stupid to make this up. What were you thinking?? I’m nervous about your next update if you have one…
Anyway, are you okay? Use cold water on your hoodie to get the blood out, it’ll work. Hydrogen peroxide too. I would also apologize to K.
        bigpricknumba9●8d
        Promise, definitely will be apologizing to K. Feel like a massive idiot. Thanks for the tips, the cold water worked!! How the fuck did you know that?

titfortat-6●8d
I would kill to know who the fuck this is. You can’t expose your, K, and R’s identity, and you had their posters on your wall?? Are you famous?
        ILoveCalendars●8d
        I’m thinking an athlete or something. Training, no beer? Sounds like some sort of health regime. Maybe coach and player??? But, this is probably made up.

BabyYodababybaby●8d
K deserves better than both of you.

FestiveMilk●8d
Where’s that link to the post of the guy being jealous his roommate or something was dating other men but just was in love with him

PornFlakes●6d
Late to the party, but had to chime in. You’re definitely in love with this man. I’m calling it.
        bigpricknumba9●6d
        If you knew me and R, you’d know how fucking ridiculous this would sound.

PeaSoupinLove●6d
The same thing happened to me, dude!!
        bigpricknumba9●6d
        Oh shit really???
              PeaSoupinLove●6d
              No, this hasn’t happened to anyone but you.

Reddit thinks i’m in love with my best friend
Me, 20sM
K, 30sF
R, 40sM
Been posting on r/offmychest, here are the links (post 1 and update), and everyone seems to think i’m in love with my fucking best friend or something!! Ig i’m coming here for advice. Idk, am i?

We have to throw this back way to when i was a wee lad. I had his poster on me wall growing up. He was a huge inspiration to me, especially for the career we’re in. Then, i had the opportunity to work with him so i fucking jumped at it. It was a dream come true, i swear it. I called me mum about it and everything, we both were so excited. Then, when i came into work the first day, he fucking hated me. From then on, we were enemies. We would get into fights all the time, he even headbutted me twice. One was a good headbutt tho, he hugged me after. Neither of us hold it against each other, we’ve moved past it.

Things got better after i punched my dad (he’s a piece of shit, he was saying shit to me and i was trying to do what i learned in therapy, but well lol), and then everyone was standing there looking at me in silence. I wasn’t on good terms with anyone at work, so i wasn’t expecting anyone to do anything, but then R came and hugged me. I like collapsed against him and gripped his back, but he held me up and didn’t even mention it after the fact or make me talk about it.

After all that happened is when we started training together. Some fucking arrogant dickhead joined our work and he offered to make me better than him. We spent this whole time in Amsterdam together, i think it started so he could torture me when he was in a bad mood, but it was awesome. I taught him how to ride a bike, then we went and found a windmill together. I opened up about my dad again, how he took me to Amsterdam and it fucking blew (not gonna go into details, no offense but idk you). He did laugh when he almost ripped my knob off after this happened, but it was kinda funny.
When I saw him and K hold hands, i was back in my hometown like i said. It was just making me freak out cause i had to see some old coworkers and was stressing out about my dad. Both him and K tried to figure out if i was okay, and i cried on R’s shoulder, literally. I just started crying and hugging him, that was before we left for my hometown tho. At my hometown, there was stuff with work that happened, and he whispered some shit in my ear that rlly meant a lot.

It all ends with us getting in that fistfight, you can read my update for that for more details. Just know it was about K, his and mine exgirlfriend. But, then we went to this work party together!! Fucker even picked me up. (also, to the people from my offmychest posts, me K and R are all good. K doesn’t hold it against us, she just thinks we’re idiots)

I guess what i’m trying to get at is that i do rlly like spending time with him. I was so worried he wouldn’t spend time with me if he were to get back together with K, and it freaked me out. Every time i get to hang out with him it turns into some of my favorite memories. Like, his niece invited me to this uncle’s day thing, and i got him this gift (can’t say, identity shit), and he loved it so much i swear he was gonna cry (i’m rlly good at giving gifts, not to brag). I had to travel to show up to it cause i was at this big work event and i didn’t even think twice about it. I do tend to smile more when i’m with him, and i like his attention. I do shit all the time to get it, good or bad, even when we didn’t like each other.

I’ve never rlly thought about the fact if i like him or not, but fucking writing this makes me think maybe i do. He makes me feel everything i felt when i was with K. Oh fuck

You grew up admiring this person, probably were upset when he didn’t welcome you at work, and then all of a sudden he’s your best friend. It’s not crazy to think you weren’t piecing together all your feelings, it sounds like this wasn’t something you expected to happen. It’s good now that you’re coming to terms with them, it’ll help explain why you were feeling jealous about him and K.

5318008●3d
How many times did people at your work make a joke about you sucking his dick?
        bigpricknumba9●3d
        Now that I think about it, a fucking lot. All told me i was R’s favorite too.

HiBarbie_pink7●3d
This is so goddamn cute. Classic enemies to friends to lovers trope. I hope this works out for you!! Do you think you’re going to tell R about your new feelings?
        bigpricknumba9●3d
        Not a fucking shot.
              HiBarbie_pink7●3d
              Please :( What if it works out??
                    dessertordesert●3d
                    Hey, he just got a grip on his feelings. We don’t know OP, we shouldn’t be pushing him to do anything he’s uncomfortable with. We also have no idea where he’s from! It could endanger him. Get out of your fantasy.

dessertordesert●3d
So glad you figured out all of your feelings! Probably really hard, especially since it was a man. Did you know you like men? Doesn’t matter. Hope everything works out for you!! Maybe your next update will be even better :) <3
        bigpricknumba9●3d
        Thank you. I knew i liked men, that was not a shock. Just didn’t think i’d ever like this big prick.

PornFlakes●2d
Did I or did I not call this? Just kidding, OP. Glad you figured it out for yourself.
        bigpricknumba9●2d
        Thanks PornFlakes. Love your fucking username.

Bookona_Shelf●2d
I think you need to tell R how you feel. Now that you like him, you’re going to hurt yourself the longer you put yourself through this. What happens if R and K get back together? If you tell R how you feel, you’ll get answers either way. He may like you back, and sure, it may end in rejection, but it’ll be better for yourself to know.

“Jamie, have you ever posted on Reddit?” Roy asks him as Jamie chops up mushrooms for the omelets they’re making for after training. Jamie freezes, tries not to make it too obvious and starts to chop again as soon as he notices he’s stopped. He lets out a laugh to try and make it casual.

“No, why the fuck would I be posting on reddit?” Jamie tries to play it off. Roy lets out a hum, grabs the chopped mushrooms on Jamie’s cutting board without looking at him. Jamie doesn’t know what to do now that his task is over. He just cleans up the small remaining pieces of mushroom on the cutting board, making sure they’re all in the middle of it.
“Okay, big prick number nine,”

“It’s numba, granddad,” Jamie is fucked. He tilts his head back and lets out the biggest groan. Roy obviously knew it was him, but he fucking threw himself under the bus while Roy was driving it. Jamie can hear the turn of the stove knobs being turned off, and waits for Roy to let him down easily. He doesn’t look towards Roy, just stands still as he feels Roy standing behind him.

“Jamie,” Roy’s hand is suddenly on his waist and forcing him to turn around. Jamie is worried Roy might headbutt him for the third time, especially when he sees him moving towards him. But, it fades away when the press of warm lips are pressed against his own.

We were making omelets after training, and I almost had a heart attack chopping the mushrooms when R asks me if i’ve ever posted on reddit. Dw guys, I played it off cool and said no and why would i be posting on reddit? Then he goes “ok big prick number nine” and my stupid mouth corrects him that’s it numba. Like i truly just threw myself under the bus!

I didn’t say anything after that, but he grabbed me by the waist and turned me around himself. I fucking thought he was about to headbutt me again.

But.

HE KISSED ME!!!! LIKE ON THE FUCKING MOUTH!!!

Now we’re dating :) He told me i could post this, but this will be the last update. Thank you reddit!!!!!
